It never occurs to me to photograph my food. I'm usually too busy eating. I guess if it was something I made from scratch and it looked incredible, it might occur to me. But the people who take pictures of their food in restaurants? It's like, dude...why? I guess I'm just a few years too old for that trend.
Yeah I'm not humble about my quiches. I'm not an outstanding cook and I don't care because I don't really like doing cooking, but everyone who has tried my quiche says it's the best : ) And I agree. I've never had better.
It's a big thing! You take a photo of food for the same reason you would take a photo of anything beautiful or memorable.
You and my brother-in-law are the only people I've ever interacted with that don't like Olive Garden. lol Every other person I've ever known, ever, likes the Olive Garden...and whatever technology they have. (yeah, I like most of your posts, and I'm NOT admitting to how stupid I am... BUT I didn't understand anything about technology and Olive Garden...I just had to come and say as plebeian as I am, that Olive Garden food (and their alcohol!) have always suited me grandly. I probably shouldn't admit that, huh... _________________________________________________ ________________________________________ That was so funny...I kept thinking afterwards... dang maybe I'm also totally gross too. ha I also enjoy saying that Mama (who will soon be 100 yrs old) has NEVER been stopped by some dang messy germs, easily "picking up a cold", or getting physically sick. HELL NO! lol In all of these years, her messy, dirty ass doesn't even have a doctor because she never had to go to the doctor!!! which is something that is awful in a way, because now I need for her to have a doctor...there are forms that need to be filled out by a doctor that I need to get completed, and in spite of calling a half million doctor offices to get her in, and her having both medicare and a supplement (at 342/month!)...I cannot find a doctor that will give me an appointment for her. ________________________________________ Lord God!!! I've never heard that.
They've worked on the technology, and I'm sure they account for how much the alcohol kills your taste buds. Peanuts are sometimes given out in bars, because they help prevent people from throwing up more often, and costing them business. Its related to a field known as the "Motel Syndrome" which is an enormous field in business, that addresses the way people abuse public spaces, and how to leverage it to make a higher profit with whatever funds you have. Sawdust on the floor used to be widely used as a cheap solution. George Washington could supposedly drink any man under the table, and crack a walnut between his thumb and forefinger. If he slept there, they had good accomodations, but he usually shared a bed with another man. Anyone could walk right up to the white house and, at least, be offered a cup of tea.
not just "primative cultures". ever see the ancient public restrooms in roman ruins? doesn't look like they had partitions or stalls or gender segregation either.
Every Roman town had life sized penis frescoes that pointed the way to the whore house, and public baths. Nudity was not an issue, how expensive your clothes were was. The idea the local bum would jump in a public bath with a senator was absurd, because he would be immediately executed, or sold into slavery.
i hadn't seen photos of those, but i'm not at surprised. roman society may have been complex, but i wouldn't call their culture particularly refined.
The kept a little bird cage in their kitchen, filled with mice, which were considered a delicacy. Today, Italians eat pigeons frequently, avoiding the ones with red eyes which carry a disease. Their idea of the good life was very different. Symbols were more important, because they had to represent what little technology and organization they could muster.
You know, when they do that right after eating they are actually meant to re-eat it. They eat too fast and throw it back to to chew it better.
i'd eat that. if i still had any teeth. meow i'm a dog. (and it doesn't look like regurgitation at all. more like something i'd make for myself and just eat it that way instead of trying to fancy it up to take a picture of it)
also fennics, you know those cute little fox creatures, this is how they feed their families. whoever catches anything will gorge themselves on it and when the get back to the den the regurgitate and everybody shares it. this is how their species survives in harsh conditions when hunting is scarce.
Among primitive tribes couples might have sex in a tipi with half a dozen people in it. These are people who often grew up watching animals fuck, and knew exactly what sex was from an early age, who often shared their beds and had no private space. Their walls were pretty thick, and carts going down the street aren't exactly race cars, so it was a quieter existence that lent itself to greater intimacy, especially considering most people would never travel more than a couple of hundred miles from home, most likely, to visit relatives, and most people were illiterate. Death was no stranger among them either as it often is today, with 1 in 110 people dying annually today and roughly twice that for these people, mostly small children. Grim's Fairytales tell it like it is, because kids were never wimps.
Hollywood baby, these days you can hire a model and eat food off her naked body. When in Rome... Take a picture.
